Nigerian Midfielder Wilfred Ndidi receives a nomination for PFA Championship Fans’ Player of the Month for September.

The 26-year-old has had an outstanding beginning to the current season for Leicester City under the guidance of new manager Enzo Maresca, operating in a more advanced role compared to his customary defensive midfield position.

In 10 appearances for Leicester City this season, he has notched up one goal and provided two assists. The goal was scored in Leicester’s 4-1 victory over Southampton, earning him the man of the match accolade.

Ndidi shares the nomination with his teammate Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Both players played pivotal roles in securing three league victories for the Foxes during the month, as they strive for a swift return to the Premier League.

The additional contenders in the running for the award, alongside Ndidi and Dewsbury-Hall, include Jack Clarke from Sunderland, Liam Lindsay from Preston North End, Morgan Whittaker from Plymouth Argyle, and Nathan Broadhead from Ipswich Town.
